Out & About : Play Tourist for a Day


Pick a day - Go offline with your other for a full 12 hours (we dare you to). And we mean offline; no facebook / instagram / twitter. You have to be serious about this mini expedition, so be your own conscience!

Play tourist for a day with a film camera. Snap away – skies on windows, old alleys, a crack in a beautiful tiled wall.




 FOR HER - Dress strategically. Al&Alicia Poppy Print Blouse (latte) & a Loreak Mendien Pirata Pants (twill blue) keeps things breezy. Ensure drinks & dips stay cool in a SoYoung Cooler Bag, and be kind to your feet with all that walking with TOMS' Classic slip-on (faded tropical). 





 FOR HIM - Keep things interesting with a Sifr Henley Ice Wash Shirt (olive) and Jack Spade Shorts (navy), complete with a multi-tone Timberland Heritage Boat Shoe (earth tri-tone). Don't forget that analogue cam - La Sardina Lomography (moonassi edition).


All products can be found at our Orchard 22 boutique.

A Rockstar Exclusive : The ABINGTON Series




6-Eye Canoe Boot, constructed out of full-grain, premium Horween® leather


Lodge Moccasin Ox, a traditional moccasin silhouette on a wedge sole


Lodge Chukka, a contemporary take on the traditional vintage desert boot


As with the debut Abington series in our store last year, only the most premium of materials are used - Vintage Leathers for the uppers and Vibram® soles to take on the harshest climates



ABINGTON Footwear reflects the values, traditions, and work ethic of a time long past. Built by hand, forged with sweat, crafted over time. Things meant more because there was nothing disposable.

This latest collection is inspired by a time when the mountains of New Hampshire (US) were looked at as obstacles to avoid rather then challenges to conquer. That was until a young English gentleman, Frederick Strickland, became the first recorded man in history to conquer it during winter.

His strength, determination and resilience is the driving force behind this hiking-inspired footwear collection.

Exclusively at Rockstar.

A little Facelift : store updates












Have you been to our store recently? If you have, and are quite the regular over here, we hope you'd have noticed we've undergone a bit of a facelift! We've moved some of our furniture around - threw some old ones out, put some new ones in place - and hopefully given you an even more enjoyable space to shop in.

And you'll be glad to know that there are new goods in store to look out for: Restocks from SUPERGA's classic 2750 series and gorgeous pictures of their latest Spring campaign with Alexa Chung (she styled the shoot herself, with clothes from her own wardrobe!).

The latest collection from our favourite outdoor series - the TIMBERLAND Earthkeepers range, which totally sold out the last time we introduced it in store. For the ladies, we have the dainty (yet sturdy) Slip-on Ballerina shoes, made out of premium full-grain leather and suede. And for guys, pick from the Canvas Oxfords & Chukkas range (composed from 100% organic cotton, and 100% recycled PET mesh lining and footbed cover) in new colour splashes.

We hope to see you around!

Timberland Women's: Moccasin & Boat Shoes





Timberland Caska Moccasin, SGD 149



Timberland Classic 2-eye Amherst Boatshoe, SGD 179


We would never have expected to say this -- not with female shoes -- but these Boat Shoes from Timberland are very smart and technically competent: (1) They are made with the hardiest leather, (2) Has a breathable interior that adjusts to climate, and (3) uses an out-sole that grips tight and keeps you from slipping on wet floors.

More than anything, we like how elegant and timeless the boat-shoe always looks. They switch easily from a chic pair of pants in the office, to swingy cotton dresses for city holidays. Speaking of which, try Melbourne, Beijing, or Amsterdam!

These are city shoes made with rocket-science intelligence, and we like that very much.
